that euro hockey is terrible. this is supposedly one of their better teams, and a Ranger team with most of its stars out are easily outskating and outclassing them

and those big rinks are stupid. they just slow everything down and make for less body contact and more trapping and circling and more standing and watching and positioning instead of hustling and hitting and working.

and the ads are a pathetic joke. every inch of everything is plastered with ads. and that annoying times square like electronic ad ticker just off the side boards is ridiculous.

Never really understood why North Americans see it as sacrilege to adorn uniforms and playing surfaces with any advertising at all, but seem accepting of native sports with thousands of stoppages purely for the purpose of cramming in more commercials on TV.

Oh, and I feel Avery’s pain, because I know, that nothing is more important to him than his own face and appearance on Vogue and at first row along catwalk. But I’m sure, that he is not going to let this exhibition’s europancied, unpunished, friendly toothbrush hit, spoil his famous grin in interviews.

oleo,
I couldn’t find anything anywhere about his assumed injury and didnt see it in games he played. I believe he is just firmly made the team and other “uncertain” players was given opportunity to being seen and prove themselves. That’s it.(I hope).

Hello! Am i alone here? I feel, like totally in a desert and need some lunch points and a drink. BTW, watermelon dessert is good in a desert (no any racial overtones here) after dissent hockey game, where nobody is throwing watermelon rind down on ice to prevent a goal or to stir controversy.
